1 State taxes in Kentucky, California, and Delaware made up the majority (greater than 50%) of the tax effect in this category. Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 was higher than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes and an increase in our valuation allowance against certain U.S. deferred tax assets. This was partially offset by tax rate benefits associated with research and development and orphan drug tax credit generations, the foreign derived intangible income deduction and the enactment of U.S. tax legislation discussed below. As previously disclosed for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, prior to the adoption of ASU 2023-09, the effective income tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate as follows (in thousands): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Year Ended December 31, | | | | 2024 | | 2023 | | Provision at U.S. federal statutory rate | | | $ | 66,492 | | | $ | 175,185 | | State and local income taxes | | | 51,753 | | | 21,145 | | Foreign tax rate differential | | | 61,026 | | (96,434) | | Income tax credits | | | (70,989) | | | (1,433,507) | | | Change in valuation allowance | | | 21,425 | | 1,572,951 | | | Change in uncertain tax positions | | | 6,418 | | 5,943 | | Foreign-derived intangible income | | | (31,786) | | | (32,891) | | | Stock based compensation | | | 25,647 | | 20,971 | | | Acquisitions accounted for as research and development expenses | | | 149,287 | | 4,200 | | | Other | | | 4,742 | | (947) | | Provision for income taxes | | | $ | 284,015 | | $ | 236,616 |
